I listened to hundreds of hours of podcasts this year. I used to listen to music while I make art but now I listen to podcasts.
Listening to a good conversation does something to distract my mind so that I can create more freely. Does anyone else feel this way?
Here's a list of some of my favorite shows and episodes - I'd love to hear yours, please feel free to comment below and add to this list:
The Savvy Painter Podcast
Hands down, my favorite podcast. The host, Antrese Wood, has fantastic guests and does a phenomenal job of interviewing them. These are some of my favorite episodes, but really, I have never been disappointed by any episode.
